Abstract
A process for formulating certain epothilone analogs for parenteral administration is disclosed wherein the analog is dissolved in a mixture of at least 50% by volume tertiary-butanol in water, the mixture is lyophilized, the resulting lyophilized product is packaged in one vial with a sufficient amount of solvent comprising anhydrous ethanol and a suitable nonionic surfactant in a second vial. All steps are carried out with protection from light. In use, the contents of the second or diluent vial are added to the lyophilized product and mixed to constitute the epothilone analog and the resulting solution is diluted with a suitable diluent to produce a solution for intravenous injection containing the epothilone analog in a concentration of from about 0.1 mg/mL to about 0.9 mg/mL. A preferred surfactant is polyethoxylated castor oil and a preferred diluent is Lactated Ringer's Injection.

The effective amount of a compound represented by formulae I and II may be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, and includes exemplary dosage amounts for a human of from about 0.05 mg/kg/day to about 200 mg/kg/day, which may be administered in a single dose or in the form of individual divided doses, such as from 1 to about 4 times per day. Preferably, the compounds are administered in a dosage of less than about 100 mg/kg/day, in a single dose or in about 2 to about 4 divided doses. It will be understood that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular subject may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic 1o stability and length of action of that compound, the species, age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject, the mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and severity of the particular condition.
Preferred subjects for treatment include animals, most preferably mammalian species such as humans, and domestic animals such as dogs, cats and the like, subject to the aforementioned disorders.
The compounds represented by formulae I and II, particularly the latter, are disadvantageous from the viewpoint of compounding a suitable formulation for administration in that they possess very low solubility in aqueous media, rapidly degrade in contact with aqueous media, are sensitive to low pH when in solution, are light sensitive, are "Class D" cytotoxic and have exceptionally poor wetting characteristics. Any one or two of these characteristics might be compensated for in compounding a pharmaceutical formulation for intravenous administration, but the combination of all of them presents a formidable challenge to the pharmaceutical compounding chemist. Given the constraint that materials to be utilized in compounding an intravenous formulation must be approved for intravenous administration, the formulation provided in accordance with the present invention unexpectedly was found to be suitable for overcoming the disadvantageous properties of the subject epothilone analogs as noted above. Initially, because of the fact that the subject epothilone analogs are poorly soluble in aqueous media and, in fact, rapidly degrade in contact therewith, it was decided that they should be formulated in lyophilized form.
It has been found that a suitable media to form a solution of the subject compounds for lyophilization is a mixture of tertiary-butanol and water for injection.
This mixture must be at least about 50% v/v, preferably from about 50% to about 80% v/v tertiary butanol to prevent degradation of the subject epothilone analogs.
Further, due to the exceptionally poor wetting characteristics of the subject epothilone analogs, the initial solution must be effected utilizing a mixture of at least about 60%
v/v, preferably from about 60% to about 95 % v/v, tertiary butanol and water.
Once the solution is made, the requisite amount of water or tertiary-butanol-water mixture can be added to achieve the final concentration for lyophilization as stated above.
l0 It has unexpectedly been found that the stability of the subject epothilone analogs can be significantly enhanced by carrying out the preparation of the solution at a temperature below ambient, preferably from about 5°C to about 15°C, more preferably about 5°C. Further, both the process of forming the solution and subsequent lyophilization are to be carried out in vessels such that the epothilone is analogs are protected from exposure to light. It is also beneficial to carry out the lyophilization in comparatively small batches so that the epothilone analogs are exposed to an aqueous medium for a minimum amount of time.
The primary drying stage of lyophilization of the solution formed as described above is carried out at temperatures from about -10°C to about -40°C, preferably 2o about -25°C, raider high vacuum, i.e., from about 50 millitorr to about 300 millitorr, preferably about 200 millitorr, for an extended period, i.e., from about 24 hours to about 96 hours, preferably about 48 hours. Lyophilization in this temperature range produces an amorphous product which is desirable for an intravenous preparation.
Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that conventional procedures, such as 25 powder X-ray diffraction, can be utilized to confirm the amorphous nature of the lyophilized product.
The residual solvents in the product are removed by a secondary drying stage that is carried out at comparatively low temperatures, i.e., from about 10°C to about 30°C, preferably about 25°C, under high vacuum, i. e., from about 50 millitorr to 3o about 300 millitorr, preferably about 150 millitorr for an extended period, i.e., from about 24 hours to about 96 hours, preferably about 48 hours.
It has unexpectedly been found that the stability of lyophilized epothilone analogs described herein are not enhanced by excipients commonly utilized for such purposes, such as lactose, mannitol, dextran and the like. Certain of these excipients may actually have a negative effect on the stability of the lyophilized product (lyophile). Hence, the epothilone analogs formulated in accordance with the present invention are lyophilized neat, i. e. , without any excipient.
The lyophilized epothilone analogs represented by formulae I and II are reconstituted with a mixture of equal parts by volume of Dehydrated Alcohol, USP
and a nonionic surfactant, preferably a polyoxyethylated castor oil surfactant to available from GAF Corporation, Mount Olive, New Jersey, under the trademark, Cremophor EL. The lyophilized product and vehicle for reconstitution are packaged separately in appropriately light-protected vials. To minimize the amount of surfactant in the reconstituted solution, only a sufficient amount of the vehicle is provided to form a solution having a concentration of about 2 mg/mL to about 4 15 mg/mL of the epothilone analog. Once dissolution of the drug is achieved, the resulting solution is further diluted prior to injection with a suitable parenteral diluent.
Such diluents are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These diluents are generally available in clinical facilities. It is, however, within the scope of the present invention to package the subject epothilone analogs with a third vial containing 2o sufficient parenteral diluent to prepare the final concentration for administration. A
preferred diluent is Lactated Ringer's Injection. The final concentration for administration would preferably contain from about 0.1 mg/mL to about~0.9 mg/mL
of the epothilone analog.
The final dilution of the reconstituted epothilone analog in the formulation of 25 the invention may be carried out with other preparations having similar utility, for example, 5% Dextrose Injection, Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose Injection, Sterile Water for Injection, and the like. However, because of its narrow pH range, pH
6.0 to 7.5, Lactated Ringer's Injection is preferred. Per 100 mL, Lactated Ringer's Injection contains Sodium Chloride USP 0.6 g, Sodium Lactate 0.31 g, Potassium chloride USP
30 0.03 g and Calcium Chloride~2Ha0 USP 0.02g. The osmolarity is 275 mOsmol/L, which is very close to isotonicity.
The constituted preparation according to the present invention, i.e., the solution of the epothilone analog in the alcohol-surfactant vehicle, can be stored for up to about 24 hours before being further diluted for administration. It has been found that the incidence of allergic reactions encountered due to the presence of the surfactant in the formulation is minimized by keeping its concentration at the minimum necessary to effect solution of the epothilone analog. Further, the incidence of such reactions is about the same as has been experienced with other parenterally administered pharmaceuticals containing it, such as cyclosporine. This observed level of allergic reaction with the present formulation is significantly lower that has been to experienced with certain other oncology agents, such as Paclitaxel. The final dilution is administered by intravenous infusion, typically over a period of up to an hour.
The following non-limiting example serves to illustrate the practice of the present invention.
Example 1s [1S-[1R*,3R*(E),7R*,lOS*,11R*,12R*,165*]]-7,11-Dihydroxy-8,8,10,12,16-pentamethyl-3-[ 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)ethenyl]-4-aza-17-oxabicyclo[14.1.0]heptadecane-5,9-dione, 9.86 g, was wetted/partially dissolved with 600 mL of a 9:1 mixture of tertiary butanol and Water for Injection USP which had been pre-cooled to 5°C. Once the drug powder had become completely wetted, 2o dissolution was completed by the addition of 600 mL of a 1:9 mixture of tertiary butanol and Water for Injection and 766 mL of a 1:1 mixture of tertiary butanol and Water for Injection which likewise had been pre-cooled to 5°C thereby making the final solution a 1:1 mixture. The dissolution was carried out under protection from light.
25 The solution formed above was promptly lyophilized in a Virtis 1NOTOP
lyophilizer at -16°C under light protectant conditions over a period of 48 hours. The resultant lyophilized product (lyophile) was then further dried at 15°C
under high vacuum for 48 hours. No detectable degradation of the drug was observed during these procedures. The lyophile was packaged under sterile conditions into 30 mL
30 vials, each containing 10 mg of drug and standard excess to allow for vial/needle/syringe loss.
The lyophile is reconstituted with 5.5 mL of a 1:1 volume mixture of Dehydrated Alcohol USP and Cremophor EL~, which typically will be supplied with the drug in a separate vial, to achieve a final drug concentration of 2 mg/mL.
Once dissolution is effected by gently swirling the vial, the resultant solution is diluted to achieve a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL by the addition of 9 mL of Lactated Ringer's for Injection for each milliliter of constituted drug product.

Any one or two of these characteristics might be compensated for in compounding a pharmaceutical formulation for intravenous administration, but the combination of all of them presents a formidable challenge to the pharmaceutical compounding chemist. Given the constraint that materials to be utilized in compounding an intravenous formulation must be approved for intravenous administration, the formulation provided in accordance with the present invention unexpectedly was found to be suitable for overcoming the disadvantageous properties of the subject epothilone analogs as noted above. Initially, because of the fact that the subject epothilone analogs are poorly soluble in aqueous media and, in fact, rapidly degrade in contact therewith, it was decided that they should be formulated in lyophilized form.
It has been found that a suitable media to form a solution of the subject compounds for lyophilization is a mixture of tertiary-butanol and water for injection.
This mixture must be at least about 50% v/v, preferably from about 50% to about 80% v/v tertiary butanol to prevent degradation of the subject epothilone analogs.
Further, due to the exceptionally poor wetting characteristics of the subject epothilone analogs, the initial solution must be effected utilizing a mixture of at least about 60%
v/v, preferably from about 60% to about 95 % v/v, tertiary butanol and water.
Once the solution is made, the requisite amount of water or tertiary-butanol-water mixture can be added to achieve the final concentration for lyophilization as stated above.
l0 It has unexpectedly been found that the stability of the subject epothilone analogs can be significantly enhanced by carrying out the preparation of the solution at a temperature below ambient, preferably from about 5°C to about 15°C, more preferably about 5°C. Further, both the process of forming the solution and subsequent lyophilization are to be carried out in vessels such that the epothilone is analogs are protected from exposure to light. It is also beneficial to carry out the lyophilization in comparatively small batches so that the epothilone analogs are exposed to an aqueous medium for a minimum amount of time.
The primary drying stage of lyophilization of the solution formed as described above is carried out at temperatures from about -10°C to about -40°C, preferably 2o about -25°C, raider high vacuum, i.e., from about 50 millitorr to about 300 millitorr, preferably about 200 millitorr, for an extended period, i.e., from about 24 hours to about 96 hours, preferably about 48 hours. Lyophilization in this temperature range produces an amorphous product which is desirable for an intravenous preparation.
Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that conventional procedures, such as 25 powder X-ray diffraction, can be utilized to confirm the amorphous nature of the lyophilized product.
The residual solvents in the product are removed by a secondary drying stage that is carried out at comparatively low temperatures, i.e., from about 10°C to about 30°C, preferably about 25°C, under high vacuum, i. e., from about 50 millitorr to 3o about 300 millitorr, preferably about 150 millitorr for an extended period, i.e., from about 24 hours to about 96 hours, preferably about 48 hours.
It has unexpectedly been found that the stability of lyophilized epothilone analogs described herein are not enhanced by excipients commonly utilized for such purposes, such as lactose, mannitol, dextran and the like. Certain of these excipients may actually have a negative effect on the stability of the lyophilized product (lyophile). Hence, the epothilone analogs formulated in accordance with the present invention are lyophilized neat, i. e. , without any excipient.
The lyophilized epothilone analogs represented by formulae I and II are reconstituted with a mixture of equal parts by volume of Dehydrated Alcohol, USP
and a nonionic surfactant, preferably a polyoxyethylated castor oil surfactant to available from GAF Corporation, Mount Olive, New Jersey, under the trademark, Cremophor EL. The lyophilized product and vehicle for reconstitution are packaged separately in appropriately light-protected vials. To minimize the amount of surfactant in the reconstituted solution, only a sufficient amount of the vehicle is provided to form a solution having a concentration of about 2 mg/mL to about 4 15 mg/mL of the epothilone analog. Once dissolution of the drug is achieved, the resulting solution is further diluted prior to injection with a suitable parenteral diluent.
Such diluents are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These diluents are generally available in clinical facilities. It is, however, within the scope of the present invention to package the subject epothilone analogs with a third vial containing 2o sufficient parenteral diluent to prepare the final concentration for administration. A
preferred diluent is Lactated Ringer's Injection. The final concentration for administration would preferably contain from about 0.1 mg/mL to about~0.9 mg/mL
of the epothilone analog.
The final dilution of the reconstituted epothilone analog in the formulation of 25 the invention may be carried out with other preparations having similar utility, for example, 5% Dextrose Injection, Lactated Ringer's and Dextrose Injection, Sterile Water for Injection, and the like. However, because of its narrow pH range, pH
6.0 to 7.5, Lactated Ringer's Injection is preferred. Per 100 mL, Lactated Ringer's Injection contains Sodium Chloride USP 0.6 g, Sodium Lactate 0.31 g, Potassium chloride USP
30 0.03 g and Calcium Chloride~2Ha0 USP 0.02g. The osmolarity is 275 mOsmol/L, which is very close to isotonicity.
The constituted preparation according to the present invention, i.e., the solution of the epothilone analog in the alcohol-surfactant vehicle, can be stored for up to about 24 hours before being further diluted for administration. It has been found that the incidence of allergic reactions encountered due to the presence of the surfactant in the formulation is minimized by keeping its concentration at the minimum necessary to effect solution of the epothilone analog. Further, the incidence of such reactions is about the same as has been experienced with other parenterally administered pharmaceuticals containing it, such as cyclosporine. This observed level of allergic reaction with the present formulation is significantly lower that has been to experienced with certain other oncology agents, such as Paclitaxel. The final dilution is administered by intravenous infusion, typically over a period of up to an hour.
The following non-limiting example serves to illustrate the practice of the present invention.
Example 1s [1S-[1R*,3R*(E),7R*,lOS*,11R*,12R*,165*]]-7,11-Dihydroxy-8,8,10,12,16-pentamethyl-3-[ 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)ethenyl]-4-aza-17-oxabicyclo[14.1.0]heptadecane-5,9-dione, 9.86 g, was wetted/partially dissolved with 600 mL of a 9:1 mixture of tertiary butanol and Water for Injection USP which had been pre-cooled to 5°C. Once the drug powder had become completely wetted, 2o dissolution was completed by the addition of 600 mL of a 1:9 mixture of tertiary butanol and Water for Injection and 766 mL of a 1:1 mixture of tertiary butanol and Water for Injection which likewise had been pre-cooled to 5°C thereby making the final solution a 1:1 mixture. The dissolution was carried out under protection from light.
25 The solution formed above was promptly lyophilized in a Virtis 1NOTOP
lyophilizer at -16°C under light protectant conditions over a period of 48 hours. The resultant lyophilized product (lyophile) was then further dried at 15°C
under high vacuum for 48 hours. No detectable degradation of the drug was observed during these procedures. The lyophile was packaged under sterile conditions into 30 mL
30 vials, each containing 10 mg of drug and standard excess to allow for vial/needle/syringe loss.
The lyophile is reconstituted with 5.5 mL of a 1:1 volume mixture of Dehydrated Alcohol USP and Cremophor EL~, which typically will be supplied with the drug in a separate vial, to achieve a final drug concentration of 2 mg/mL.
Once dissolution is effected by gently swirling the vial, the resultant solution is diluted to achieve a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL by the addition of 9 mL of Lactated Ringer's for Injection for each milliliter of constituted drug product.
